For my service learning placement, I am giving time to the guidance counselor, Mr. Berns, at Orchard Hill Elementary. His job works with children in kindergarten to sixth grade. He provides support to others through difficult situations, supplements education on living a healthy mental and emotional lifestyle, and addresses any issues that are causing a barrier to a student’s everyday learning. Although I have only been volunteering here for a few weeks, I believe I have had the opportunity to…

Multicultural/Anti-Bias Resources For this assignment I am choosing to talk about the preschool age group specifically. As I was reading Chapter 1 Ramsey talks about the multicultural goals that teachers and parents should have for their children. I think he does a very good job at explaining why certain activities and why we should have these goals set for our young children. He breaks up these goals and explains them into different groups; Strong flexible identities, Sense of connection,…

When you start your search for the perfect notebook, all the options can be quite overwhelming. Barnes and Noble alone has over one hundred different options. Amazon.com has over seven thousand. Starting out, most people are concerned with the outside cover, the size, or how it will look sitting on a table. Your notebook tells a story. Composition books make us think of classes, flowery bright ring bound notebooks conger up memories of hearts with names inside passed to our childhood friends in…

to let Mikel know how brave he was for trying. Likewise, I did my best to set an emotional environment, instructing him to write about his own topic and presenting Mikel with several different templates to pick the paper he preferred. Spotting the crayons also gave him comfort. When he constantly appealed for help, I took a moment to ask him to point to his head and believe that everything he needed to write was within…

Children start to lose their baby fat as their growth and metabolism increase. They are not able to hold a crayon or pencil correctly or tie their shoes. In early childhood, children are able to walk, run, jump and have a slight grasp on being able to draw and write things. Balance and fine motor skills are also improving in early childhood, but they will be…

Process-Analysis Ever since I was young, art has always been my niche, the one thing that truly defines me. Crayons, markers, finger paints, anything I could get a hold of to create something. I started creating and I never stopped, thanks to my encouraging parents and teachers. I did not get what I needed in my early years of school so started learning how to draw and paint on my own. I taught myself every tip, trick, and technique I could; desperately trying to learn how to better myself. I…

C. Child Interactions 1. Did you use appropriate, positive language and avoid the use of “OK”? • Yes, I feel I did use the word “OK” many times, but my overall language I thought was positive 2. Were you at the child’s level? • As much as possible when my hips/knees allowed 3. Were you able to use problem solving with the children? • Yes, when a child tried to put a stuffed animal in the “float or sink” water at the science table. I told we don’t put our stuffed animals in the water…

Faulkner insists “The held the funeral on the second day, with the town coming to look at Miss Emily beneath a mass of bought flowers, with the crayon face of her father musing profoundly above the bier and the ladies sibilant and macabre, and the very old men...some in their brushed Confederate…
